Derek Wheatley   This month's featured Oxford alumni author Derek Wheatley Q.C read law at Oxford (University College, 1944). He was a young barrister when he got the case of the real Isabel Earl who was tried at the Old Bailey charged with Capital Murder.

He remained a practising barrister doing first criminal and later commercial cases, subsequently becoming a Recorder of the Crown Court and Deputy Coroner to the Royal Household.

He then accepted an offer from Lloyds Bank to become its Chief Legal Advisor. As an expert on Banking Law, Derek Wheatley has written many articles for newspapers and the legal journals; The Silent Lady is his first novel.
